Note: Most of that discussion is related to the "replacing or not the words used in Redis replication". ( i.e. Removing Master / Slave terminology ) It's an interesting look into the culture war(s) of that time, and how

Another alternative here is to plot the reciprocal (Op / Sec) which has the benefit of both the more natural "Bigger is Better" and easier comparison of the fastest runtimes.

Or use BenchmarkDotNet which, among other things to get an accurate benchmark, does JIT warmup outside of measurement. ( https://github.com/dotnet/BenchmarkDotNet ).

Depends on your circumstances. The UK seems reasonable for most. For the employed, you let your employer worry about it. You might occasionally get given a "tax code" which essentially equates to your tax free allowance. If that h

I used TextPad for a long time too, it always seemed to work faster, better and simpler than Notepad++ that was the main rival that people would rave about.

I agree, on a societal level it's a great benefit. On an individual level, however, I'd suggest keeping an eye out for opportunities to retrain. As an analogy, I'd rather be like the coal miners in the 80s who could read the

First automation acts as a powerful lever and enabler, then it replaces you. In 5 years time you may well be more productive than ever. In 15 years I doubt there'll be many programming jobs in the form they are recognisable today.

Given the Post Office / Horizon scandal, I'd actually be reassured the default assumption was the software was wrong. Further reading at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Post_Office_scandal , the TLDR is

Not any safeguard: You could have a human in the loop doing the filtering. Would that be slower than having the human generate the responses? Perhaps.

Quite the opposite, English has been the source of many such pressures, e.g. post Norman invasion, but it simply adapted in borg-like fashion to redefine what English was; retaining some of the previous language and moulding itself to fit i

E3 2000 had one of the greatest trailers ever made for a game that would never be released: Halo. The e3 2000 trailer was when it was under development as a PC title, prior to the buy out of Bungie by Microsoft, after which (?) it became an

I don't understand the point you're trying to make. You're the person who wrote it would be mandated, and now you're admitting it's a ridiculous position to take. If you have some point to make please do so earnestl

It is ridiculous to equate a recommendation and a mandate.

Even on the same server there's still a race condition if checking the key has been used and marking the key as used aren't atomic if more than one request can be handled at once.

That depends how your API is structured, and again comes back to the atomicity and idempotency. If your API is for example: "POST /orders/create {products:[{bananas:1}], shippingAddress:{},...}", then it's not clear

I know it's just an introduction so perhaps it shouldn't be taken too literally, but the sequence diagram of how to make an order idempotent feels like instructions on how to create race conditions. You can't check for existe

My criticism of this and similar articles is that in this article we're back in the mythical Widget factory where programmers are given requirements to create or improve widgets. In my real world experience, the largest amount of work

And unfortunately they've all settled on the apparently untested, "legitimate interest" loophole where these hundreds of partners have a "legitimate interest" in serving you personalised adverts.

It wasn't the chaining that was an issue: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_bump . Perhaps "speed boost" would be a better alternative for your intended meaning.

At least the souls games are designed in such a way that it's conceivable to not take damage. Not taking the slightest bit of damage in Fallout 4 is utterly incomprehensible. This is a game where you can take damage just looking the wr
